Extra Crispy Vegan Fried Chicken - easy seitan

Seitan is a good source of protein and can be a quick and convenient way to help those on a vegan or vegetarian diet meet their protein needs. Protein is essential for everything from building muscle to repairing tissue and producing hormones, so getting enough in your diet is absolutely critical, but I also think in America it is hyper focused and you don't need as much protein as the trainers and media want you to think you do. 

Seitan is also great for weight-loss Because it’s high in protein but low in calories, seitan can help support satiety to keep you feeling full, which could help promote weight loss. In fact, high-protein diets have been shown to decrease levels of ghrelin, the hormone that’s responsible for stimulating hunger. 

Seitan is also one of the few meat substitutes without soy. Many people prefer to avoid unfermented soy products like tofu because it can disrupt hormone levels and often comes from genetically modified crops. Tofu is a HARD NO for me, being a cancer survivor and it is one of the most cancer causing foods out there. Good clean tofu is becoming extinct quickly.

DISCLAIMER: If you have a wheat allergy, celiac disease or gluten intolerance, seitan is definitely out of the question as it is literally made from wheat gluten. 

I have tried so many protein replacements and using Seitan is my most favorite. It is so easy to use and you can make anything from Chicken to Sausage and it comes out perfect every time as long as you follow the easy directions. With Seitan, the most important thing is to rehydrate the gluten after mixing. You can't just put right into the fryer or oven. Don't skip that step! 

I don't miss meat one bit, but I DO love a good fried chicken. So this is my substitute. Works perfect every time. Give it a shot!

Please note there is an air-fried version at the bottom where you can reduce the oil significantly making it a healthy option. 

Extra Crispy Vegan Fried Chicken

Seitan mixture:
2 cups vital wheat gluten
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp parsley
1 1/2 cup vegetable broth
2 tbsp soy sauce

Broth Mixture
4 cups vegetable broth
2 cups water

Flour Mixture
1 cup flour 
2 tsp paprika
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
**1 tbsp cayenne powder use less or omit if you want less it spicy
1  tsp salt
1/2  tsp pepper

Full Fat coconut milk

Extras
oil (I used avocado oil)


In a mixing bowl, whisk the vital wheat gluten, nutritional yeast, and spices.
Add the veggie broth and soy sauce and mix until combined. Knead for 5-7 minutes.

Bring the broth ingredients to a boil in a large, tall saucepan.

Shape the chicken in the size you want. For example: for nuggets break off small pieces of the seitan and place them in the broth (if you need to, add more water to cover them). These will double in size.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for ~30 mins, flipping each piece halfway through. (This is where you would stop and grill the chicken if you just want grilled chicken. Cook on the grill til you get the grill marks)

Whisk together the flour mixture ingredients in one bowl and the coconut milk (or milk of choice) in a separate bowl.

For full fried version: 

Cover bottom of  a large saucepan with oil and heat on medium-high to ~350°F.
For each piece of seitan, cover in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then the flour mixture again and place in the hot oil.
Cook on each side until crispy (~3 minutes per side)

You can do this in the airfryer to make it a healthy dish. 

Air-Fryer version:

Lightly spray Seitan with oil and Air-fry at 375 degrees for at least 15-20 minutes or desired crispness, turning halfway through 

Healthy gluten free Chicken Enchilada Bowls

I love enchiladas, but sometimes am not in the mood to spend the time rolling them and making a huge mess. My solution is the enchilada bowl. I also like this solution because I can get more protein and healthy ingredients in and less "filler" aka tortillas. 2 small corn tortillas make up a carb serving and that is just plenty for me in a bowl, but sometimes in a dish those tiny tortillas don't hold enough and I am left feeling hungry with just 2. So here is my solution!
Clean Healthy Chicken Enchilada bowls that are easy to make and keep the whole family happy with less mess and more nutrients. Enjoy!

Healthy Clean Chicken Enchilada Bowls

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely diced
1 lb Chicken breast cut into pieces
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1  cup tomato sauce
1 cup chicken stock (or vegetable stock)
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

8 tortillas
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1/2 cup cheese, grated
optional garnish: Green onions, salsa, guac



Preheat Oven to 350’F.

Heat up a large pot on the stove top. Add olive oil and diced onions. Cook until softened (around 5 minutes). Add chicken pieces, salt and pepper. Fry until juices have evaporated and chicken starts to brown.

Add cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, garlic. Fry for around one minutes, stirring to coat chicken evenly with spices.

Pour in stock, tomato sauce, and beans. Cover pot and allow to simmer on medium for 10-15 minutes until chicken is tender and sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat. Use a colander to drain the sauce from the chicken and set sauce and chicken filling aside. DO NOT THROW SAUCE AWAY.

Soften your tortillas by wrapping in foil and heating in the oven for a couple minutes. This makes them easier to work with. Then get out 4 bowls and place one warm tortilla in the bottom of each oven safe bowl and place them in the oven for 10 minutes to harden. Option to coat tortilla with a little oil, but not necessary.

Divide chicken and bean filling between the 4 bowls. Spread a Tbsp Greek yogurt on top and then top each with another tortilla.

Repeat until all 4 bowls are done

Spoon strained enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and top with grated cheese.

Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until golden and serve.

Hidden Veggie Jerk Chicken & Rice

I have grown to love veggies, but it is still a struggle for my family. So I hide them as much as possible. It is so easy to do now days. This recipe DOES have Cauliflower, but when you mix it 50/50 with the Basmati Rice, spices and onion, you can't taste it. It makes you feel like you are getting MORE rice too, which is a trick this carb lover uses regularly.  So here is how I made this scrumptious Hidden Veggie Jerk Chicken and rice.

Let's start with the Jerk Seasoning followed with the marinade, because you will need those first and they come from someone I love dearly! Her name is TAS and I met her through this online coaching gig. We are running a Summer Shape Up online bootcamp together. I got permission from her to share her Jerk Seasoning and Marinade. They are the heart of this dish so THANK YOU TAS!!!

Also we are starting another round next Monday and are now enrolling. Come see what having me as your coach can do for you reaching your goals. Here is what a challenge group is like:

So EMAIL me and get in on this group!!!

Now on to the delicious recipe!

Tas Scott-Gass “Jerk” EVERYTHING for dinner tonight!! 🔥🔥🔥 But I have to say, I REALLY loved it on my head of cauliflower! Instead of putting it straight on the grill, I put in on a pie plate wrapped in foil and let it bake on the upper rack while I grilled chicken and sweet potato below! Definitely one of my favorite flavor combinations!

💥 JERK SEASONING 💥

4 t. Allspice
4 t. Salt
2 t. Ginger
2 t. Nutmeg
1 t. Cloves
2 t. Thyme
2 t. Pepper

💥 For MARINADE add:

4 scallions
8 cloves of garlic
2 T. EVOO
2 T. Honey
Juice of 1 lime
1 habanero (scotch bonnet) - or 1/2 or 1/4 depending on your heat level! (Sometimes I use 2 🔥) 

❤️This is good for 2-3 lbs meat or veggies. I like to double up the spice blend just to have on hand for eggs or lunch veggies. It’s honestly good on everything! 🔥🔥🔥

These are the types of tips you get, along with MOTIVATION, ENCOURAGEMENT, and LOVE in my online bootcamps so join us!!! To join simply SEND ME AN EMAIL to momwhatsfordinner@yahoo.commomwhatsfordinner@yahoo.com and tell me your goals (I want to gain, I want to lose, I want to get stronger etc....) as we will connect and get you started.  DON'T WAIT!!!!! Hesitation is the killer of all dreams. CONTACT ME now.  

SO now that you have your seasoning and marinade. Lets get down to business. 
Preheat your oven to 375.
In a mixing bowl, combine:

2 cups riced cauliflower
1/2 chopped onion
2 cups cooked basmati, jasmine or brown rice
1 tsp jerk seasoning

Add to a large prepared baking dish.


Next you need:

1 1/2 lbs Chicken breasts (or your favorite cut of chicken or protein) I cut mine to tenders. 
Jerk seasoning to taste
avocado or olive oil

Lightly sprinkle the jerk seasoning onto cut prepared chicken (or your favorite protein) on both sides. 
Heat a fry pan on high and lightly coat with your favorite HEALTHY cooking oil (Olive, Avocado, Coconut). Flash fry... quick sear each piece of meat on both sides for about 30 seconds, then top on top of prepared baking dish filled with rice and cauliflower. 

Top each piece of seared protein with the marinade you prepared. Then put in the oven for 20 minutes. 









ENJOY!

Healthy Clean Chicken Piccata

Officially halfway through my new nutrition program and I am feeling fantastic. I think what I love most about my job is that I do the program with my clients and in turn I get to live my happiest healthiest life because you are what you eat. Our gut is our 2nd brain. Technically known as the enteric nervous system, the second brain consists of sheaths of neurons embedded in the walls of the long tube of our gut,. The second brain contains some 100 million neurons, more than in either the spinal cord or the peripheral nervous system. The second brain informs our state of mind. A big part of our emotions are influenced by the nerves in our gut. 

Simply translated... 

Put good fuel in ... your brain responds good.

Put bad fuel in... your brain responds bad. 

Which is why I constantly say...

If you are depressed... fix your diet.

If you have anxiety... fix your diet. 

You can pretty much have the food you like, you just have to be willing to be your own advocate and cook it, or find and support others that cook it. For instance. I LOVE chicken piccata, but traditional recipes have a ton of butter  (saturated fat). It just isn't worth it anymore because that makes me tired and lethargic. I want to feel GOOD and have ENERGY! Enter this heathified chicken piccata that tastes downright delicious. I don't miss a thing. Just a few tweaks and boom!

If you are in my nutrition program this counts as 1 RED, 1/4 YELLOW (if you really want to be strict, or you can omit) and 2 tsp per serving. If you are not in my nutrition program but want to be... send me an email and I will send you over deets!

Gluten-Free Healthy Chicken Piccata

1 lb boneless chicken breasts
1 Tbs plus 2 tsp of Ghee
1 Tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper
1/2 cup of tapioca flour
1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice
2 lemons, sliced
1 Tbs lemon zest
1/2 cup organic chicken broth
fresh parsley if you have some!


Mix together rice flour, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Lightly dredge each piece of chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess.

Over medium heat, melt butter mix in olive oil. Brown chicken on each side for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Turn heat up to high and deglaze your pan with the lemon juice and chicken broth. Reduce heat to medium and stir liquid with the browned pan drippings from chicken.

Add chicken back to pan and top with lemon zest. Simmer on low heat for about ten minutes. Sauce should thicken a bit. Top with lemon slices and simmer for 5 more minutes. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if desired and top with fresh parsley, if you have it.

Delicious served with brown rice and steamed veggies!

Chicken fried cauliflower rice

Yes this recipe is keto friendly... no I don't follow a keto diet. I prefer eating for LIFE and that means BALANCED. I do not support the keto diet because of my education in nutrition, and low-carbohydrate diets may increase your risk for kidney damage, osteoporosis, abnormal heartbeat, lipid abnormalities and even sudden death. If your ketogenic diet is high in protein, it could also increase your risk for diabetes, cancer and overall premature mortality. So why on earth would I ever try to get my clients to go keto? I wouldn't. I teach my clients how to live long happy healthy abundant lives. I do NOT think one needs to go through life without ever having grain or treats again. All things in balance. 

I do however, know that Carbohydrates are best consumed during the first half of your day, because carbohydrates give you ENERGY. So I have my healthy carbs for breakfast and lunch and keep them out of my dinner. Enter this healthy Chicken fried cauliflower rice. With about 300 calories per serving, it gives you a fantastic protein packed dinner that is fiber filled leaving you full and satisfied. If you would like to learn what foods benefit you better and when... please reach out! I love teaching people how to feel better!

Super Simple Gluten-Free Pad Thai

Have you tried the new certified Gluten-Free Thai Peanut Sauce from San-J? I was blessed to receive it from San-J in exchange for my opinion on the product. I did not get paid to write this article. The views are my own. I actually don't accept many products any more. I prefer to do things myself to make sure I have quality ingredients in my body. That is what I love about San-J. They care about the ingredients they use. You can recognize all ingredients that are on this high quality glass bottle. Another selling point because I am not a fan of plastic and the possible hazards that leak into our food. 

Use this Gluten-Free Thai Peanut Sauce when you are in a time crunch. It is perfect for adding a tasty Thai touch to any meal. They did the work for you, and it is good work! Using this sauce I was able to make this simple pad thai from start to finish in 15 minutes.
